It’s time for a new dose of design inspiration, and this time it’s all about logos and identity graphics. Today we invite you to check the collection of neat and elegant design concepts by Yoga Perdana, a famous logo designer from Indonesia.
Yoga Perdana is known for amazing creative productivity: his portfolio on Dribbble is growing non-stop and instantly impresses visitors by the number of diverse concepts. However, at the same time, here you will find the consistent style and design approach which shows the designer’s charisma and is quickly recognizable. Smooth lines, eye-pleasing colors, masterful work on negative space and visual metaphors – you’ll find that all in his graphics. Welcome to take a glance at 50+ of his graphic design concepts on food, letters, numbers, nature, animals, and hearts. Enjoy and get inspired!
If you haven’t heard of him or seen any of his work, Yoga Perdana is a digital artist who, in my opinion, creates some really awesome illustrations with a very soft feel to them.
I believe I understand how he lays out his illustrations using circles, but I’m unsure of how he gives his art such a soft feel to it. There are definitely gradients involved, but his come out so different looking compared to mine.
Any ideas on the process Yoga takes in order to colorize his images while maintaining a very soft feel to them? Are there any tutorials available?
This is what I have so far:
I went off of Yoga’s initial construction design, creating circles, using minus front to create the initial ring shape, and then using the outline pathfinder to create anchor points where the rings intersected. From there I deleted curves correspondingly to look like the original logo.
How do I connect all of the points to become a singular shape so I can add a gradient?
UPDATE (11:15pm): Just got the gradient working. I ended up joining the disconnected paths to create singular shapes in which I could insert a fill into. From there I selected all of my new shapes and filled them with a gradient.
This brings me to my next question, how do I create the shadows within the logo to create a sense of depth? I’m thinking about duplicating the shapes, creating a shadow gradient for each one, and altering their opacity to around 40%.
UPDATE (1/9/15): I was able to add some shadows to give the logo depth. All I did was duplicate pieces of the logo so that they were overlaid right on top of each other, and added some fade gradients to them.
However, I think there’s still something that differentiates Yoga’s logo from mine. Is he using some sort of grain or blur technique? I can’t put my finger on it, but I definitely feel like something’s different.
I realize the shape of the logo is not exactly the same as Yoga’s, but I’d say it looks very similar design wise. Please give me any tips on how I can improve.
Til next time.
